Longtime fans. Fan service. Private contact. Ultimately, a breakup. Hwang Jung-min, beloved as a national actor through three "million-viewer films," has hit a major rock. While his leading film "Hope" is still in theaters and he is on promotional appearances, allegations from a woman claiming an affair are shaking both his acting career and his life as the head of a family to their core.

It began with posts on social media by a woman identified only as A, recently opened, raising suspicions about Hwang Jung-min's private life. As posts hinting at Hwang's alleged infidelity were posted one after another, Hwang's side issued an official statement on the 29th: "The author of malicious posts regarding Mr. Hwang Jung-min is a suspect in stalking crimes who has continuously harassed Mr. Hwang." The statement added, "Mr. Hwang has filed criminal charges against the author, and the court has imposed temporary measures such as no-contact orders against the suspect on three separate occasions. Furthermore, the court issued a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won after acknowledging the stalking allegations."

However, A's revelations and claims continue. A asserts that Hwang's side has no choice but to label her a stalking criminal, while also issuing a statement: "My relationship with Hwang Jung-min was intimate enough to involve multiple phone calls or contacts per day for several months." She further explained, "Hwang proposed a soju brand business project utilizing his Lee Reum-gwa (CEO) work, and I carried out market research, concept planning, and trademark surveys as a design practitioner."

A also stated, "Hwang encouraged me to write novels; I wrote about 30 pieces of writing including novels and essays, among which were sexually explicit pieces written at Hwang's request." She added, "I believe this incident constitutes emotional and sexual exploitation occurring under significant power asymmetry, as well as labor exploitation. Regardless of Hwang's intentions, I have had to continuously endure emotional deprivation, sexual shame, and exhaustion from unpaid labor."

A claims sexual exploitation despite having no direct sexual relations, physical intimacy, or even holding hands. While A labels the "erotic novel" written by this woman as sexual exploitation, Hwang's side presents it as evidence of stalking, offering contradictory opinions.

In response, Hwang Jung-min released evidence of stalking arising from his relationship with A via Dispatch. The release included details of three separate meetings, incidents that occurred during those meetings, and exchanged messages. According to the content, A sent messages threatening extreme actions and contacted Hwang's then-minor son.

Moreover, she allegedly sent photos of Goyang's corpse and tissues stained with blood to Hwang. If true, these are shocking details. Hwang's side submitted the Goyang corpse photos and A's alleged last words as evidence of stalking crimes, and the court ruled them as "stalking crimes."

A also pressured Hwang's family. After photos of her with Hwang's wife were made public, she mocked them and contacted his son. Furthermore, she secretly attended a school performance by Hwang's son and later sent him a message saying, "The ticket for your son's 'All Shook Up' performance when I was there." She even secretly stalked Hwang's minor son.

Off-screen, Hwang Jung-min's conduct is regrettable. Although she was a longtime fan, a married man should not have met a woman alone. He should not have given any opening for misunderstanding to his longtime fan, even in passing remarks. He should not have joked casually with colleagues while drinking and directed such comments toward the fan. Private contacts, phone calls, and drunken calls were all inappropriate. However, Woman A's actions are clearly stalking.

Hwang Jung-min fulfilled the previously scheduled stage greeting for "Hope" even on the 29th when the controversy began, signaling his resolve not to waver. Hwang's side stated that in response to A's continued and inconsistent claims, they will no longer issue further statements and will instead rely on legal rulings.
